General guidelines for passive solar design?
I will design and build a small house and want to use solar building techniques passive. I know that windows facing south and the components of a thermal wall are the main, but what else should I think about the design? References good or suggestions? thanks ....
the shape and layout: Round, Octagon, and the seats are good ways to use. These will give you the maximum amount of volume the least amount of perimeter. Less perimeter means less surface for heat is lost. Even if you have a "long side, make sure it is facing south. Presentation: The best, simplest designs are saltboxs (http://www.homeconcepts.ca/home-plans/home-images/12070_Cardiff/Cardfsec.gif) and "Shed" types of roofs (http://www.solcomhouse.com/pass.jpg) Try to minimize the south stands in front of the wall not to block the sun too. Trees: If you are concerned about overheating in summer, plant deciduous trees from his window. Thus, in the summer that will shade the windows, and in winter they will sunlight in On the same note, maintenance of trees in the area near your home will reduce heat loss due to wind and weather. Just make sure they are not blocking the south-facing windows during the winter. Insulation chills or curtains to close during the night. thermal mass: Make sure the thermal mass is receiving direct sunlight. A floating slab on a foundation of rubble trench is much better than a basement and stem walls regularly. methods Alternative construction: Some alternative building methods are way cheaper and often more effective than conventional housing. These include the ear, wood, straw bale houses. Isolation Isolation.

an old book very disappointed! a book of the seventies! very few photos, many boards for the American countries. Solar means for me the interest in nature and health. proposed technical solutions are not for you! technik will kill us. Let us go over easily!
